Bayern Munich have recently parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann and Man City will now take on a familiar face in Thomas Tuchel, who previously beat them in the final with Chelsea two years ago. Today’s meeting will be the seventh competitive match between the two teams, with the last coming in the Champions League group stage during the 2014/15 season.

After being narrowly beaten by the German giants in the away leg, Man City went onto beat them 3-2 a month later.

While it looked like Manuel Pellegrini’s side were set for another defeat, Aguero hit a quick-fire double in the last five minutes of the game and claimed all three points.
